Quiet World by Spoons Lyrics

The world I'm in has a nice complexion
But what the surface tells isn't true
I want so much to have your full attention
But I'm afraid they¹re not getting through
The things I mean, I mean to give to you

In this quiet world of mine
The tensions build like hurricanes
My fears are storms and sadness rains
In this quiet world of mine
Emotions wear their grand facades
As I hide behind my camouflage

My compass heart points in strange directions
I want so much to be with you
I hide my smiles behind a blank expression
I hope you¹ll be there to see it change
Wiped like a smudge from a window pane

In this quiet world of mine
The tensions build like hurricanes
My fears are storms and sadness rains
In this quiet world of mine
Emotions wear their grand facades
As I hide behind my camouflage
In this quiet world of mine
